My then greaat uncle (married my Grandmother after they both became Widow /widower so then Granpa Tom) had several rifles built for he and his wife back when he was making lot of money as a rock truck owner/operator/driver back in the early 1950's. All three were built on FN Mauser commercial actions by a then famous gunsmith in California named Ray Acheson. One was a 257 Roberts, for my little in size but BIG in spirit and ability Aunt Marie. Another was built to be his all around deer rifle and is a 270. Those two went to his son and Grandson, correctly so. The other was to be his gun to take to Alaska someday for bear and moose which he never did. He always said it was a 300 Belted Newton. I made up some ammo for it and gave them and the dies to his son but the son does not hunt much anymore and later suggested that I should own it and that he would let me trade him for it, just wanted a gun he could buy ammo for so he got a Winchester XTR in 300WBY and I ended up with Grandpa / Uncle Toms rifle. It had and has old adjustable scope bases for the then common non adjustable scopes so I found a couple of non adjustable Balvar 2.5-8x scopes and mounted the nicest and cleanest one up on the rifle. Also had to add a spacer and a thick recoil pad so the gun would fit me. Gruncle Tom had thick, but short arms and shoulders.
All three got real Ebony forend tips and grip caps as well as real ivory spacers. How it was done, back then, if going all out top flight custom.
In firing loads made up for the rifle when supposing it to be a 300 BELTED Newton, the cases expand to nearly the diameter of the belt right ahead of the case web. Sooooo... what I PROBABLY have is a 30 Newton that the gunsmith and others simply fed belted brass sized to be 'close' in chamber fit. All of the ammo I got with it, though, is unfired. Uncle / Grandpa Tom never took the trip to Alaska so I have a like new custom build from the eary 1950's, before todays modern Magnums such as 300 Win, and even the 308 Norma were even thought of.
I also upgraded the Beuhler safety to a Gentry Custom model 70 style three position side swing safety. Here she is.....
